on today's show I'm going to tell you how robot dinosaurs are coming and I'm going to tell you about a robot that's gonna beat you at video games pretty soon and I'm gonna tell you about a dog house that's so cool you're gonna kick your dog out and living it yourself we're both going to tell you you're watching tomorrow daily yeah attitude attitude grading citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm hero stash Lee's got to join me as always filled with attitude today kill anonymous I'm kill onymous so what who cares get over it deal with it kill you you should brought sunglasses you do deal with oh no it's okay yes I could do given really let me down on yesterday's Photoshop I'm just putting that out there I didn't see any lasers I didn't see any large Jeff Goldblum I didn't see any of that in my feed you guys blew it especially you Stefan Roger Oh Stefan o our regular just affect me oh you were just anything ok so anyway when actual someone out an actual person ok guys we have some really fun stories today so let's not waste any more time let's hit the headlines so the EPFL which is they've been working on this project we've seen a lot of robots that sort of mimic animals right so they've been working on robots that behave like animals for a while now and this particular project I think they've been working on for over a decade so it's been ten years in the making this is kind of crazy they've unveiled plural bot so here comes plural bot you can see in the video oh god this is a salamander esque robot it looks very similar to a skeleton of a salamander crawling around um it can walk on land and swim on water it has this boy there it has a help of a date has a suit a little diving suit that goes into and then it can like swim in the water cuz it needs to be waterproof um so here's how they built it and it's really impressive to watch move because it looks really lifelike right right so okay they tracked 64 different points on a salamander skeleton using x-ray they filmed it under x-ray so they were able to see exactly how the skeleton of this salamander moved and they were able to sort of figure out how many joints the robot needed and which ones needed to be active based on all of the different postures and gates that the salamander showed off like while it was moving so um they said that this is so cool they said that if they were to apply neural patterns to both the robot salamander or a real salamander like neural patterns that you would apply to a real life salamander it would do the same things that is this robot sound hundred that's how accurate it is way to go like it's pretty accurate would respond and move really similarly to the real thing which is awesome so this is remote controlled though yeah like they have they like I would imagine it's got some servos in it that lets it kind of walk itself um and some sensors and stuff so this is my favorite part for you kill okay the next step is to use they say the EPFL says the next step for this project is to use the same methods to bring robotic dinosaur yeah I found a way that's awesome no I'm really impressed they were able to like actually take the exact same you know movements as a salamander very glad and copy them and they're just straight up their goal is dinosaurs so I'm gonna pull an Oprah right now and say you get a roto robot dinosaur you get a robot dinosaur everybody gets a robot dinosaur ok now go with my own ok that's cool pretty awesome that's pretty great I can't possibly go wrong I don't like that they put a mouth on it oh he talks to you like a box I mean they can play audio from the mouth of the valve like Oh what are the sensors in the front by the way I you know I'm not a hundred percent sure I um the article that I was reading about it was more focused on like how they built it ok so in it but it really so cool and also you know robot I saw robot dinosaurs and I was like okay well we gotta cover this mm-hmm so there you go kales waiting what are you gonna name a robot dinosaur uh gizmo gizmo yeah oh and buddy's gonna kill no smoke kill kills me there you go good i like it can't can't possibly go wrong skills mom i'll take delivery of my dino of my Robo Raptor uh my Robo velociraptor any any day now so I full-size full scale I don't want one of those small ones you can buy at the store already I don't want that alright so moving on to another one of Cal's favorite things need so over that the geniuses over at the Google at the google deepmind have introduced an AI that plays video games all right now stick with me because this is both very cool and very intimidating all right trust me okay so this is a robot playing break out which is a one of 49 Atari games that this AI learned to play now as you can see you're doing pretty terrible it's really bad it's really bad at playing breakout blowing air however the cool part about all this is that the AI learns okay doesn't it it's not taught the rules of the game it learns and it gets better and better just like the human brain after you try this game at times you start to figure it out I see in the video it's saying like 100 training episodes 200 this is 400 that we're seeing now and it is better it was better right so it's it the thing that it's trained to do however is remember and learn from previous rounds so as you can see it's doing multiple rounds and it's going to learn and get better and better attempting to improve its core so that's how it's basing its its movements like oh if I do this I get better score so for instance as you can see it thinks of new ways to exploit the game at like yeah how do you trap the ball on the top that's a trick we all know but it figured it out it took it like 600 times but it figured it out figure it out I tell me 600 times baby hey I'm still ever figured it out so that's a sneaky sneaky trick that it learned up but this is a proof of concept the goal the goal how is it goal is to start a successful YouTube gaming channel okay great twitch I'm just I'm just kidding that's not the goal the actual goal is that they want to show people it's possible to create an AI that can solve general problems and gems we promise I he's probably hard right as you as you can see like I think because it wasn't taught the rules it's able to kind of think outside the box where is Owen yeah as opposed to being specifically programmed to play one game at a time like here's the rules here's how because if you find an exploit in the game you're gonna use that exploit room and you're not gonna follow the rules so the next thing they're good so they're they're hoping it'll like learn things like if you want to go on travel you could just yell at the AI and be like oh here are some prerequisites like when I land I go eat here or I need to be here by this certain time or I like to make it this time and it'll be able to like work within those me great travel that's the only real example I'm sure you could think of a million uh-uh but right now so there's other next thing after they taught it all these like sorry games is that they're gonna teach it 90s games oh good so moving the next decade Larry the next decade obviously there's more difficulty rather than just bouncing balls around so there you go if they can teach it to beat contra then I'll be impressed and ghosts and gothic out the konami code ghosts and goblins as well Kosan Co because that's easy stop it like to get out I good all right well I I gotta tell you about this dog house okay about the dog you're gonna see this video you're gonna freak out I just am warning you in advance um we've seen the Barbie Dream mansion Malibu dream mansion whatever that is now your dog can have a dream mansion to this is very futuristic so here it is this is the samsung a dream dog house Samsung has put together this very futuristic crazy dog house that first of all I just want really bad um 12 designers and fabricators worked on this thing for about six weeks to make it real there are lots of her things as you can see there's a dog treadmill there is a hot tub figured it'll kill a dog hot tub ok we get the Jets going he can hit a button and feed himself some treats ok automatic feeder in there right they got some beautiful lighting they have a samsung galaxy s tablet inside the dog house oh good they have a designer interior look they got one and they owe you can see there's pictures on the walls look they got pictures of their dog friends and family they could have dog friends Valen there's the tablet right there so they can watch a little telly they can they can call you and call you on skype Doug skype with you whatever you want um and yeah that's the the samsung dream dog house that's that is a real thing it will be on display at crufts I know air you face palming just so hard it's crufts is one of the biggest dog shows in the world and it's going to be it'll be there so people can see it which makes me laugh where's that I didn't I noticed that there wasn't like a place for them to relieve themselves well to me the main thing that dogs do in my experience that's a really good point I was thinking on the treadmill it has like that fake grass maybe they would just go there and then run on the treadmill just keep right I don't know don't dogs like no I will see ya you'd have to have what I will know and that's then you just go by that little fake patch of grass that they want was there I I mean so so was there a goal for this was there like it the goal is luxury for your dog that's the goal sometimes candy doesn't have to have a point kale that's why it's called candy oh it's to its to stimulate stimulate your dog is luxury you're putting your dog in the lap of luxury literally like luxurious that dog has a nicer house than I do like that dog that we just saw my dog would rather lay on a pile of dirty clothes this I was gonna say my dog likes to roll around in like sticks and mud so I can't imagine this would be a thing they would even want to spend time in hey Samsung make a kale sized one of those yeah make me a house that size would be good and uh no do you want to guess also I need to be able to go to the bathroom do you do you want to guess how much it is okay wait wait this is good guess at home guess it gets at home how much forget your guesses at already had a treadmill I had a spa I had a self-feeding thing at had a tablet tablet built it I had a door after just beside I'm gonna say three thousand dollars three thousand okay I'm gonna I'm gonna translate this to US dollars because yes at home guessing home because okay so you might be guessing a little low oh no you're beginning a little low a little love okay okay um 20,000 British pounds which is uh that's like 40,000 that was like 38 thousand dollars lot i'm calculating right now let's say done go british pound u.s. dollar there will be 30 thousand US dollars 30 grand 30 thousand four hundred as of today we're than a mini cooper like a mini coopers let you buy your own car like eighteen thousand dollars you could literally buy one of those old VW but buses and like to make that your house you could buy a boat you were a houseboat for less than thirty toughened father there's so many things we've talked about on this show that you can be spending your money on and then thirty thousand dollars for the dog house of your dreams you could buy a robot dog you can literally build a robot dog from school yeah you could you could actually just pay I what do you think most of the money went the designing or like what do you think I think that's a part of that I think the custom fabrication is like the big thing where it's like and the loved the end the hot tub I think the hot tubs pretty pricey ok here we go cubs are you come to me and you give me twenty thousand dollars which is $10,000 one-thirds the price less I will build you something way cooler and it'll have a place for your dog to pee yes it'll have a hole that's right i'll have a hole in the ground I come yeah yeah so maybe you maybe you buy this charge your dog rent that's good until they pay it off maybe that's the thing like we get him a dot dog model job can you like do that get it as a dog model so it pays for itself like the house pays for itself so if you're like jay-z or something like that it'll make sense sure yeah d if your Blue Ivy get a little dog Blue Ivy you're like I want a dog and then Beyonce's like it's gotta be fabulous at flawless and so she buys it you a flawless dog and then it's gotta have a flawless house that's how it work but they are selling them is what your transom ah they're not selling them yet but it'll be and maybe we'll see if there's enough interest at this dog shelter they might actually sell them I don't know where's Jojo crust is in the UK I like that it's crossed crufts that's all I thought it was like rough no a hashtag hashtag a day though TD pet house and I want to know pick an animal and design it a dream a dream house so pick your your Dino you're a robot your robot dinosaur what kind of help would it have my robot dinosaur first of all it would have the Jurassic Park date kills mo kills motel Code Red everyday dress apart gates of an open up and it would say welcome to Jurassic Park okay and then you get inside and it would be it would be actually a big game of thrones though okay so they'd had like a little thrown them he could sit on I like it yeah alright and yeah and then be but it would be deadly to get to the throne they all movie trap it would be like Indiana Jones but it's so it's only for my dinosaur got it so there you go nah it's just a bunch of Spielberg movies should I go but just mash there's a little Spielberg red dinosaur dream out yeah so what about yours I think I would do mine for I feel like I'd pick it pick like a I think I pic like a pet bat I've always wanted to pet that okay they're really cute you better go where I think you're going with this what do you mean I was I would like to do it like a portal house oh that's pretty cool yeah like where they can fly through it like listen if money's no object i'm sure i could figure out portal guns so you just have them fly through spaces into other parts of the house like it oh so we just make crap up then yeah isn't that the point of the right spot in mind he gets a rocket pack you're a robot dinosaur and you think it's the well the robot dinosaur we just saw that okay you're sorry all right okay if we do the portal gun on the show yet I mean he'll probably do it in like two months actually an apple releases the Apple portal gun I know right the apple portal with NFC with yes NSE scanning this has been a fun segment I'm glad to be a part of this work Katie chat house TV pedos what would discourage ashby and then what would the pet be they gets picked a peck yeah pick a pet Pickett's house tell us what the most wild feature in the house would be well craziest feet no pet kales though yeah no pet kels no pet Ashley's thank you robot ko-ro-ba kale okay robot everybody robo totally good on that note we're gonna take a quick break it's thursday so we have rounded into it we have user feedback and our phone tire over the day so don't click wait it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show the robot is watching you yeah robot is always watching doesn't have any entity senses me so so now it's it's Thursday which we do every Thursday we like to talk about things were kind of a little bit obsessed with this week so it's time for into it all right you go first this week as it like it's just like crack me in the face I remember you like bring your hand up so high is like wow knocked out just pretend to pretend I didn't even do anything you're just on the floor like help anyway so this week as in all weeks I am always obsessed about some video game and sometimes I like to go back and play an old one especially because i'm a pc gamer because there's mods yeah lots make everything fun mods mods are great for that's why i like be a pc gamer so i decided to get into the left 4 dead 2 mods up on the brett on the steam store so they have they have the workshop and so one of the ones that I've been wanting to play for really long time is the disneyland by lets you play left 4 dead killing zombies as you go through disneyland this is the great not really well done it's really it's like it's like they took a blueprint and made it now that is a really really good replica running for me that I spirit and there's like a whole backstory because there was like apparently that that was a safe it was posed to be a safe ground for the in feel like against the infected ok and so you're supposed to be able to get like injections there but it ended up getting infected but anyway it's it's a blast it's super easy to download and this is just one of many mods that up that I've installed of I had one where my whole team the four survivors were from futurama I had one where I was a hit sue me whatever that that Japanese pop star Harley Quinn you can change the guns i had a chainsaw that was from lollipop chainsaw but it made the sounds that Homer makes when he does it change I guess hey Bart you would see my new chains on hockey mask anytime I took it out but it's really cool it's a lot of fun so yeah I guess if you're I guess if you want to watch me I'm gonna play it maybe friday night so if you guys want to see has the stretching portrait are you a night the haunted mansion I even got enough are damn i cut away okay uh that is amazing and if you're just listening at home that is super detailed and you should definitely go look that up because it's it's really impressive yeah huge Disney fans here oh yeah big time thank you killing our big Disney fans I'm so you actually brought a prop for you I did I brought a real life cig you're listening you're missing this is what I'm into so here it is this is the grand Budapest hotel it's a book and it's a very large coffee table book and it has pictures and interviews and stuff from the cast I'm going to try to bring this or it's like really unwieldy I story gigantic um but yeah it's really cool and there's all kinds of great stuff in here that you can check out they've like interviews the costume people and scripts tough and pictures of all of the production and set design and I mean it's just it's really cool concept art I just really love it so that's because there's like a lot of models this thing won a ton of Oscar was for costuming and and set design so it's such a cute it's such a great movie like it's a really whimsical just charming movie if you haven't seen it i highly recommend it it was one of my favorites of last year might even have been my game I movie of the year last year if I ran the Oscars maybe I would have given it to that but I like I really

into i really like it it's it's super cool i think was like 20 or 25 bucks on amazon it's hard cover is it smells amazing i love the smell of a new book so it's smell so good um but yeah that's a that's what I'm into this week I am really enjoying it I told Kayla like taking my time with it I don't want to like rush through it and like eat it all up and then and then be done with it and be like okay my copybook tables all over so I'm kind of like going through a couple pages I think I throw it away after you well yeah i'm just gonna obviously burn it you burn your books after you're done with them right yes light them up yeah yeah of course as one does no no I'm tent and you both never use it all in and that's how you get all the words let's see you the words and all the content super okay yeah you take the books power this has been the best episode oh um no it'll be a really nice coffee table book once I've done but I I'd like I'm trying to pace myself and enjoy sometimes i will read through books really really fast and then I feel like maybe I didn't enjoy this is a picture book yeah yeah exactly so um so yeah that's what I'm into uh but now sigh wait how about you didn't tell you how much it was I said it was like 20 or 25 okay so we're on amazon that's I got a awesome um okay it is now time for what you're into which is your user feedback yesterday we asked you guys use hashtag TD school to tell us what class you'd want to take who you'd want to teach it after we told you all about the free Stanley comic book class which I have registered for now officially like crap i forgot to do that yeah you gotta do it when the deadline it's the class doesn't start to like May 5th so it's your good you got time um so and I think because it's on the internet there's like no maximum can't really do that yeah uh Tony wrote in to us and said I would like to learn of martial arts taught by Bruce Bruce Lee oh man that'd be the hardest class in the world it would be oh he's so like if you mess up he'll just do the the punch right they're like yeah that launches us a room but like he never ate and he worked out every waking it's hard more that's not a class that's a lifestyle that's like way does like a hundred times more intense and climate and then the end at the end of the course your test is that you have to try and be in the crow yeah it wasn't the crow and then you know what wasn't the crow how do those Brandon Lee oh sorry that's nobody's okay fun I got to be in the crow and he got to turn you have to try not to that Steven wrote in

Tie Fighters x-wings etc the final exam will be a dogfight and a laser tag battle using paintballs Robert I got to tell you you you had this whole wonderful world built up of like I'm gonna learn how to make a TIE fighter I'm gonna learn how to do so and then we're gonna be paintball 5dn know if you have all that stuff of a su you get out there and you use those Tie Fighters you have a real life tie fighter Doug I didn't see any lightsaber battle involved in their real-life lightsaber battle you do it so we're on board I like it yeah I like where you're at like we're heads at that's what I'm saying um all right guys it's time for a very last piece of user feedback which is as always our photog refer the day just saying I think we're out of control today and I got I would like it yeah uh Andy wrote in to us and I thought this was a very interesting email and II wrote in and he said Ashland kale hi love your show i have an auto download to my tivo roamio and normally watch it on my 50-inch plasma TV would come back to us while walking on a treadmill haven't missed one yet come back to us look at kales super excited producer Logan come back Wow look at all the look at all the edges hey look at that that's 50 inches this is pretty crazy you go ahead and read anything I walk with you okay now you got nothing uh he says I am going for picture taken with the cheapest smartphone the phone is a ZTE valet android tracfone currently selling for twenty dollars the balloons those are balloons by the way i don't know if you noticed that the balloons are from a five-story high balloon exhibit on the Sibley's building on Main Street in Rochester New York I know the picture quality isn't great but for a twenty-dollar phone with a 3 megapixel camera not bad it's not bad pretty good and I love this picture of like all these they're like basically balloon secrets a sea creature diorama but it's like life-size dude by the way these are huge like I saw the he had like a
